| Test Name/Synonym: | Anti-Endomysial Antibody, Serum - Edmonton Zone | ||
| Clinical Indications: | If the patient’s IgA level is <0.1 g/L, indicate IgA deficient on the requisition. Anti-endomysial antibody (AENDO) will automatically be done: • On patients < 2 years old when the ATTG is <7.0 U/mL • If the requisition states that the patient is IgA deficient (defined as IgA <0.1 g/L) • If the patient is > than or = to 2 years old and IgA is <0.1 g/L and the ATTG is <7.0 U/mL With the current methods, anti-transglutaminase (ATTG) has greater sensitivity for Celiac disease than anti-endomysial (AENDO), except in young children and patients with congenital IgA deficiency. | ||
